Badass Rap

[CiG]

Have you heard Piru Love? One of the better known(around here at least) songs from the damu ridas ...


and a few more Rip Ridaz classics from the early 90's...

I heard that third track before I think, that was nice and smooth. That second track was raw as fuck though haha sounded like it was recorded in the fucking day room! Liking all these femcees too by the way. Especially that one in "Steady Dippin" she had an awesome style.

Never heard these Snoop tracks before don't think, listening to the first one now.

Edit: Oh another femcee haha, nice.

Randomly discovered this dude while looking for songs by a death metal band lmao. Can't tell if it's an old artist recently dug up or a new artist making throwback cuts (going with the latter) but holy shit, he sounds like someone who grew up around g-funk but moved to Memphis in the early 90's and his influences got all mixed up with that early southern horrorcore thing.

@mutantllama @TechnicalBarbarity

fucking sick, dig it!

Anyone like Jak Progresso? Go into him through Goretex.

 

[CiG]

[raises hand]

Probably his best album right there, or at least my favourite of his stuff. I feel like he perfectly balanced his trad rap with his experimentalism with that one, and before and after the balances are always a bit off for me. If you haven't already, check out his battle rapping. Even if you don't like battle rap, he's great and entertaining as fuck.

 

[mutantllama]

Yeah prob my favorite as well, although I dig the stuff after it as well. Checked out a few of his battle raps when I first got into him, yeah they're fucking dope.

 

[CiG]

I also really like the few times he collaborated with The Buttress.

 

[Bloopy]

I really like selected tracks from him, particularly Diethyl, Night of Fear, Cyclothymic Tea, and of course Monstrosity w/ Yugen which was how I discovered him in the first place.

Never really heard of her but I'm digging her shit.

Spoiler

Bumping this recent discovery, just a couple tracks deep but boy this bangs. G-funk throwback with some mid-west and Memphis influences all over the place. Really smooth, laidback, gangsta, Bay Area heavy etc.

One of the tracks has a cool video too.

Another album from Mr. Toxic, less than a year after the last one. Kinda feel a bit sorry for him as he doesn't seem to have gained many listeners over time. I haven't gotten sick of his voice yet.

Just got back from seeing this band play as a friend's band was supporting them. Didn't win me over on the whole but this song was awesome live:

2nd Generation Wu, a group featuring 4 sons of Wu-Tang Clan members. Impossibly big shoes to grow into but they're trying:

 

[CiG]

Jak is working on a new EP called Feed. Bring it on, sounds grimy.

 

[Bloopy]

I gave Jak another big listen to see what I've missed. Quite like this track:



This is one wack sample:

 

[CiG]

Yeah that is a pretty wack sample.

 

[CiG]

Holy shit.
